Tesco last night confirmed that it had found horse meat in its Everyday Value
Spaghetti Bolognese ready meals, as politicians and multinational companies
traded blame in the war of words over contaminated meat.

Tesco, which has already had to withdraw frozen burgers from its Everyday
Value range, took the Bolognese off its shelves five days ago as a
precautionary measure pending the results of its own tests.

The product came from the same processing plant owned by French food giant
Comigel that supplied the contaminated beef lasagne products which Findus
was forced to withdraw from sale last week.
